The Hygrophila sp. Chai has grown well in my 40-liter tank. The leaves are vibrant with a nice bronze glow under LED lighting. It adds a clean vertical line in the midground and stays healthy with regular water changes.

I was drawn to this plant for its unique coloration. It grows steadily and looks great in the background. The stems are strong and don’t flop over easily. A bit slow to establish, but worth the wait.

The color deepens over time, especially under bright lighting. I planted two stems and they’ve developed a neat, upright form. Perfect for adding depth without overwhelming the tank.
